Two of Swords - Perfect balance

Appearance.

The image is of two gold tipped Swords before a stormy moonlit sky above a peaceful river. The scales of balance are situated at the bottom of this card and a blindfold sits between the swords.

Interpretation.

In a reading this card, the Two of Swords, indicates that you are refusing to face a current dilemma. Nothing can move forward or change until a decision is reached. Often I have seen this card represents stalemate in a relationship of a personal or business nature. The seeker feels frozen and the swords though perfectly balanced show the deadlock has been reached and the life changing choice is to be made. The point of no return has been reached, the decision must now be made before the blindfold can be lifted. The blindfold indicates a hidden choice that must be made through careful thought, external forces must not be considered. This card always indicates that the seeker is ignoring the situation in the hope that it may simply disappear. This is never the case and action must be taken before it is possible to move your life forward. The situation is perfectly balanced what is your next move?.

I stepped in to each card to create the deck you see throughout my sites. These keys form a large part of my daily meditations & help me form my perception of reality. You can now own a copy of my deck. Take your personal journey along the Royal Road of Tarot.

The Tarot Suit of Swords deals with thought. Spoken, electronic or written communication & planning.
Originally the suit of the ruling class and the military, the suit of Swords now represents those in public service, strategists, and those who utilise the power of the mind. Although it still relates to discussion, politics and justice, it's more internal these days, dealing with the internal struggle of the thought process. The suit of the Air element, it's the suit most likely to signify conflict, but it's not all bad, highlighting ambition, travel and change.
